DEVICE FOR HOLDING BOTTLES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 30, 1916.

Application filed June 7, 1915. Serial No. 32,685.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMELIA F. KANDL- BINDER, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Sangamon and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Holding Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for supporting and protecting the contents of milk bottles and consists in the provision of a simple and efficient device of this nature made of a single piece of metal and so constructed as to form a bracket having flanges to receive the beading about the end of a bottle and a horizontally disposed portion for protecting the contents thereof.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of my invention. Fig. 2 is an edge view, and Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view. v

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, it will be noted that a plate of metal is provided which has a downwardly turned portion A for attachment to the wall of a building or object of any kind and a horizontally projecting part B, the opposite edges of which are bent to form grooved ways C adapted to receive the beading D of a bottle. Said horizontally disposed portion is adapted to contact with the end of the beading of a bottle in the manner shown clearly in the sectional view of the drawings, thereby preventing any foreign matter entering the bottle and also serving as a protection to the contents of the bottle. The width of said grooves is preferably equal to the diameter of the beading of the bottle so that, when the bottle is inserted in place, the flanges forming the grooves and which are preferably of resilient material will tend to hold the edge of the beading forming the end of the neck of the bottle frictionally in contact with the under surface of said horizontally disposed portion of the plate.

What I claim to be new is A'device for holding bottles consisting of a plate for attachment to a wall and provided with a laterally projecting, right angled extension adapted to rest upon the upper edge of the beading of the neck of a bottle, the portion of said extension intermediate the part which is designed to contact with the beading of the bottle being upwardly bulged and the opposite edges of said extension bent to form flanges, the edges of which are, designed to engage the under edge of the beading of the bottle to hold the end of the neck against said extension.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in resence of two witnesses.
